never seen it, what happened ?

Is he losing peoples money again ?

I did wonder if he was an actor, but then I thought he looked utterly convincing if he was. I nearly shat myself at the train bit, but I have a fear of trains anyway! Would be interested to see if someone could wake you up in the middle of the night and make you get dressed, go downstairs, tell you stuff and then make you think it's a dream. The street party bit didn't make sense, surely they'd need a licence!

I'd like to think it was true and real because I'm an old romantic at heart who thinks this stuff could happen, but I am a bit doubtful!

And he never paid the taxi driver

I find it hard to believe that you can be manipulated to that degree, but i suppose 'if' you are that suggestable and happy to be led then................

I mean to let yourself in to a strangers house and put the tele on. Would you, really!

edit; Thinking about it, the copper drove home and let himself in. Thought he had lost his keys

anyone notice he took off in leeds to go to jersey in daylight. told him that they had to land immediately at the next airport. when he was landing it was dark.

also how do you not know you got woken up by derren brown and taken to a field to feel up a crocadile at 2 in the morning??

liked it though.

The only trick derren pulled off was getting people to watch this bollox for an hour an 15 minutes.

I may stand outside my next door neighbours window tonight and subliminally suggest she comes out and gives me a *******.

There are lots of holes in the "story". I think you have to think about the message behind the whole thing, i.e. that with a few changes to the choices we make, or don't make, we can become heroes ourselves.

On the Guardian website a journo did a live blog which I've just read. There was a guy commenting who was at the selection process too, though he thinks he wasn't chosen becase DB couldn't put him under far enough....

It's OK. You have to let the frustration go some where, and thank your lucky stars snetters are an understanding bunch. Go on BF, let it out.

Heard that line said (boyfriend, actually) in a serious situation between two blokes, the one who said it was nearing 50

Stitches I was in.

It was utter shoite. I can't believe that there are people out there who watched it and are, even for a nano-second, thinking it is anything other than complete bowlocks.

Much prefer National Geographic in HD meself

The sentiment of the program was okay I guess - "Wake up and Man up" but FFS - Find a wallet and keys, go to the house identified in the wallet then let yourself in??!!!???? Utter rubbish, and possibly illegal.

FEDS on here - Isn't gaining entry to a strangers house just you because you happen to have found the keys still "Illegal Entry" / "Trespass". I guess it's NOT breaking and entry though!

so what if it's illegal the whole thing was staged anyway

I only watched it because Derren Brown never fails to send me to sleep.

I hate Darren Brown

Torquemada

Agreed. I was flicking through channels, briefly saw the bit where the guy is woken up and told he is in a dream and then goes out to the garden, then I switched over. Absolute cack.

If I found a random jack in a box on my doorstep Id be calling the bomb sqaud not playing with it!

Lad lives not far from me if it was meant to be true. The bit I saw made me want to self harm so i turned it off.

What is he supposed to be famous for then?

So how did they manage to isolate a filling station for long enough to stage a pretend armed robbery? I don't think that i have ever filled up without there being some other member of the public wandering around.

How come "hero" never noticed that the (successful) armed robbery wasn't mentioned in the local press?

Why did "hero" not wonder why the police cheesemeister didn't notice a taxi parked on his driveway?

...plus all the other errors mentioned above

I initially hated DB's "showmanship" (read bull**** and lies) but then started to like his "betting" stunts etc. and the live show. Even when he explained his methods, it was impressive to see them carried out (e.g. beating those chess grand-masters) as it took such careful planning.

But now it seems that he is back to the actors and stooges that he "promised" that he didn't use

Torquemada

Exactly, he always says those kinds of things with a bit of a twinkle in the eye. He just loves the publicity and getting people to argue over how he does stuff, imho.

Dedrater

Of the few times he has explained how he done it (live lottery prediction etc) even that was fabricated, the way he said he done it, wasn't the actual way he did do it.

I saw the lad who was on it in the supermarket tonight with his bird. Still angry with myself I didn't call him Ted Striker!

Derren Brown train stunt investigated by Ofcom

Shame that they aren't investigating an obvious hoax

Derren Brown - fueling his own ego since Channel 4 gave him his own show
